Do you live for the spooky sights of Halloween? Are scary movies and haunted houses just not enough fright for you? There's a brand-new (well, actually, very old) Halloween attraction that's made for thrill seekers and courageous tourists everywhere. For one night only, you can stay at Count Dracula's castle in Transylvania and sleep in a coffin — and it's all absolutely free.

Airbnb is working with Dacre Stoker, the great-grand-nephew of author Bram Stoker, to arrange a Halloween night you'll never forget at Bran Castle, the inspiration for Dracula's lair. Guests will travel by horse-drawn carriage through Transylvania while Dacre, a vampire expert himself, will divulge the dark secrets of vampires and believe-it-or-not historical stories about Dracula's frightful legend. And you'll relive the story of Jonathan Harker, the main character from Bram Stoker's Dracula novel.

But then, you'll experience the real attraction: the castle itself. You go through a secret passage on the first floor, featuring squeaky staircases, dark hallways, and creepy corners. That path leads to a grand dining room, where you'll dine by candlelight and enjoy a meal exactly as described in Bram Stoker's writing: robber beef steak and paprika hendl chicken. You can also explore all 57 rooms of the mansion, from towers to terraces, but be aware of "unexpected guests" who "come knocking in the moonlit hours."

Once you're ready to retire, you'll go to sleep in a velvet-trimmed coffin in the crypt. "Fall asleep to the creaks and whispers of the Transylvanian night, and the sound of wolves roaming outside the castle walls," the listing reads. In the morning, you'll eat breakfast on the terrace while watching the sun rise.

Of course, staying at such a grand estate comes with some ground rules. You cannot bring any garlic or garlic-scented items, including perfume. You must leave silver jewelry at home, along with any holy symbols. Do not cross anything, even your cutlery, close all the curtains before sunrise, and extinguish all burning candles before going to sleep. And "the Count is not a fan of mirror selfies," Airbnb warns.

Want to take part in the creepy fun? Act fast: You must fill out an application on Airbnb by 11:59 p.m. Central European Time, or 6:59 p.m. Eastern Time on October 26. The question: "What would you say to the Count if you were to come face-to-fang with him in his own castle?" If you win, you can bring a guest and Airbnb will fly you there from anywhere in the world, for free.
